Don't forget, there are many consultants within the NHS who won't touch private practice - there IS another side to the coin.

A friend of mine has been poorly diagnosed with a deteriorating nerve/muscle disease (now thought to be myasthenia gravis but originally treated as epilepsy!) and the two top specialists in our area will not take private patients, which means that the waiting list is extensive.

So it's not always the case that money buys you immediate top treatment.
